Extract
Lambeth Palace Library MS 1040 has received less attention than a companion volume, MS 1041 (inscribed ‘The Lady Ann Blount’ on the first leaf). Although there appears to be no musical connection between the two manuscripts, they have been together for a long time. The Library's old catalogues do not allow the volumes to be identified with certainty, but if ‘Two Musick Books’ refers to them they have been in the collection since at least the mid-eighteenth century.

3 John Mercure was a lutenist, probably French, who in 1641 was appointed to a post at the English court which had fallen vacant on the death of Robert Dowland. Compositions by Mercure appear in a number of keyboard manuscripts.Google Scholar
4 An exceptional example of an earlier keyboard piece in B is William Tisdale's Pavana Chromatica in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, which also contains an anonymous almain (no. CCXXVII) in E. Benjamin Cosyn began his virginal book (British Library MS R.M. 23.1.4), dated 1620, with his own prelude in E.Google Scholar

Granger, ‘Ayleward, Richard’, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (London, 1980), i, 755. There is no foundation for Granger's suggestion that some of the manuscript keyboard pieces with Ayleward's name attached are by an earlier composer.Google Scholar

15 There are some textual differences, the pieces do not appear in the same order, and the earlier layer of MS 1040 may have been completed before Musicks Hand-maide was published. The Golden Grove seems to have been copied from a source which associated it with the corant that follows it in MS 1040 and the two Christ Church manuscripts.Google Scholar
